Based on a mobility plan combining tram, bicycle and walking, and taking into account the different origins and modes of transport of visitors, (re)connecting.earth (03) offers a route along line 17, the CEVA and the Greenway. From Geneva to Annemasse, this itinerary allows visitors to discover new and existing works of art, accessible scientific content and natural sites in the city, inviting them to imagine a new world based on the natural resources available, both locally and globally.

Although the Biennale is hosted by three institutions, one of its key features remains the discovery of nature in the city through art: the opportunity to view the city at a different pace, from a different perspective. As in the last edition, the Biennale presents two types of new artistic productions: visual and sound interventions in public spaces, and 15 artist-instructions, continuing the principle launched by (re)connecting.earth in 2021. The journey also highlights a selection of existing works, already produced and sometimes forgotten. This offers the city, the municipalities and the canton the opportunity to present, in a different setting, creations that have often been around for several years. More than just contemporary artworks, some are sculptures paying tribute to historical figures from the canton who, like Pictet-de-Rochemont, are linked to issues of resources (in this case, agricultural resources in particular).

The trail of riddles linking the various venues and works of the Biennale is based on artistic and scientific content that allows visitors to discover and reflect on issues of resource production, circulation and consumption. It creates a bridge between the content on offer and the public’s imagination by transforming learning into an artistic and scientific treasure hunt. Once the ‘reconnection certificate’ has been completed, it can be handed in at one of the Biennale centres and participants will receive an artist’s poster.
